NEW YORK, Sept. 26 (Special.)
'Charles Evarm Hughes Is the beat Gov
emor New York State ever had."
This remark was made by Lieutenant
Governor Stuyvcsant Chanler at a ban
quet some time ago and as Mr. Chanler
Is now the Governor's opponent this In
dorsement Is regarded as possessing po
litical value.
One thing which pleases the average
voter Is that the state campaign now in
progress will not descend into an ex
change of unpleasant personalities. For
Mr. Hughes likes Mr. Chanler and Mr.
Chanler admires Mr. Hughes. They have
both said o and are not likely to deny
it on the stump.
President Roosevelt dominated the Re
publican State convention. Nobody de
nies It. Charles F. Murphy, who ruled
at Rochester, yielded to pressure from
W. J. Bryan and did not scalp his ancient
enemy. "Pal" MoCarren, as he had
planned to do. Whether or not it was
because of this "National interference."
the general Impression is that both con
ventions nominated high-class tickets and
there will be no great unhappinees no
matter who is elected.
Ticket Sizes Vp Well.
4
The Republican nominees "size up" bet
ter than the selections made by the
Democrats. Two years ago the bosses
under protest ran Mr. Hughes, but load
ed him down with a "yellow dog" ticket.
Mr. Hughes pulled through, but his run
ning mates were left out In the cold.
Seemingly the "leaders" ' have taken
warning, and this time, while all sec
tions of the state are recognized, the
Governor has associates of high class,
even if one and all are regarded as strict
organization men.
Horace White, named for Lieutenant
Governor, Is a pleasant man of irre
proachable manners. Ho has had 12
years' experience as a State Senator,
which has given him a training In law
making that should fit him to be a com
petent presiding officer. In addition, he
has acted as1 president pro tern many
times and his knowledge of parliamen
tary law Is extensive. Despite the fact
that he Das owed his continuous elec
tions to the Hendricks machine, his
record In the Senate has been rather
more than exceptional. Mr. White has
voted with the Governor on every Im
portant question that has arisen, except
ing the removal of State Superintendent
of Insurance Otto Kelsey. This liBt In
cludes the anti-racetrack gambling bills,
which he supported consistently, al
though there was an understanding in
some quarters that he did not personally
favor them.
Strong Among Jewish Race.
Samuel S. Koenlg, named for Secretary
of State, Is leader of the Sixth New
York, a strongly Jewish assembly dis
trict. His nomination Is credited with
adding great strength to the ticket among
loters of the Jewish race, which, for one
reason or another. Mr. Hughes is credited
with having arrayed against him. This
argument was made so effectively that
the leaders deemed It wise to place one
of the race upon the ticket. Koenlg. per
sonally. 1 one of the hustling Repub
lican leaders. He has built up his or
ganization from 600 to more than 2000
and made the Sixth, formerly a Tam
many stronghold, debatable ground. In
1904 he broke the long list of Democratic
victories by carrying it for Mr. Roose
velt. The selection of Charles H. Gaus for
Controller was the concession made to
William Barnes, of Albany, with the hope
that his bitter enemy, Mr. Hughes,
would be good. Mr. Gaus is the present
Mayor of Albany, a reputable business
.man and prominent In German socie
ties. But Mr. Gaus has always, in poli
tics, done exactly what Mr. Barnes told
him to do. and it is generally admitted
that the Controller is the heaviest load
that the ticket will have to carry.
George W. Aldridge. the leader of Mon
roe County, which includes the City of
Rochester, named the candidate for State
Treasurer. Thomas B. Dunn, who at
present is a Senator. Mr. Dunn is high
ly regarded for his support of the antl-
racetrack gambling legislation and also
because he went on record as favoring
the direct primaries bill. He Is a busi
ness man of wealth and standing and
has been a conscientious member of the
Legislature.
Edwin O'Malley, the nominee for Attorney-General,
Is regarded as an honest
and capable. If not brilliant, lawyer, who
Is popular In Buffalo. He is an organi
zation Republican', but bis candidacy. It
la said, has the approval of many Inde
pendent bodies to which his record is
known. Some years back ho was a
member of the Assembly and made a
Machine Will Work for Ticket.
A majority of the machine leaden, af
ter carefully thinking the matter over,
declare that the result Is not as bad as
it might have been and say that they
will go home to work for the entire
ticket. They realize that they were
overwhelmed by a wave of public senti
ment and that the best thing for them to
do Is to accept the decision gracefully

Independents point out that the present
situation within the Republican ranks is
similar to that which confronted the op
position in 1892. In that year the organ

MUs Vera Gilbert.
NEW YORK. Sept. 26. (Spe
cial.) Until recently Eleanor
Sears was considered the most
expert woman swimmer at New
port, but now Vera Gilbert Is re-
garded as the champion. Miss
Gilbert swam from Bailey's Beach
at Newport to Hazard's Beach In
good time, and as Miss Sears'
swim of the same distance was
not timed. Miss Gilbert has been
declared champion. A race Is
talked of between the young
women, and the society people of
Newport are much interested In
the outcome.
his own state were sure that he would
not make a satisfactory or successful
candidate. Tammany and the up-state
Democrats forgot their ancient feud to
make common cause.
Parallel With Cleveland's Case.
It was admitted that Mr. Cleveland
was an honest and upright man and had
proved himself a courageous and Inde
pendent executive, but it was said at
the time that his virtue was "too lonely
to be attractive."
It was charged that he had "fatally
sinned against the party Idea by permit
ting the parade of himself as better than
the party, and it was declared that he
had chilled to the bone the regular troops
on whom there must be reliance for vic
tory. The stiffness of Ids neck was much
emphasized, and he was accused of hav
ing shown lack of tact in his handling
of men and measures. Also his op
ponents dwelt upon what they called his
overweening vanity and his indisposition
to take advice.
This was the arraignment of Grover
Cleveland in 1S92. It Is. almost word
for word, the Indictment of Charles E.
Hughes in 1S08.
New York went to the National con
vention that year solidly against Cleve
land. Bourke Cockran voiced the ma
chine opinion in a speech In which he
predicted Cleveland's defeat, saying he
wa? a popular man every day in the year
except on election day. Everybody re
members the reply of General Bragg, of
Wisconsin: "We love hira for the enemies
he has made." and Cleveland was nomi
nated. He did not prove a weak candidate in
New York, but a strong one. In fact was
the only candidate who could have won.
For the . practical politicians, swayed
by their prejudices, had failed to take
into account how great an asset a can
didate possesses when his honesty and
the excellence of his intentions are be
yond challenge. They forgot that the
average voter, even though dissatisfied
by particular acts. Is prone to overlook
his grievance, when convinced that a
public servant has the public good stead

som, long- famous for Its Downs and
Its racehorses. Is up in arms Because
of the establishment of another insane
asylum there, and Lord Kosebery has
written a protest against It. Since
the purchase by the London County
Council nine years ago of the Hbrton
state of a little over 1000 acres, four
great Institutions for the accommoda
tion of lunatics of the metropolis have
sprung up on the outskirts of Epsom.
Their buildings are situated amid de
lightful surroundings, yet their pres
ence Is a source of constant irritation
to the townspeople. Epsom sees their
Inmates parading daily in Its pleasant
lanes and is constantly alarmed by the
report that some demented creature has
escaped from the care of his keepers
and Is wandering- aimlessly abroad.
The royal commission on the care and
control of the feeble-minded reported
recently that the total number of men
tally defective persons, including certi
fied lunatics. In England and Wales may
be estimated at 271,607, or .83 per cent
of the population. Five thousand three
hundred and eighty-one lunatics are
housed at Epsom.
DO NOT TEACH TO SAVE
Savings Banks in London Schools
Prove Failure.
LONDOX. Sept 26. (Special.) Savings
banks In the London schools are a fail
ure. According to the latest official re
turns, there were last year 463 banks In
operation In 271 separate schools. A sum
of 182,470 was paid In by 63,309 depositors,
and CS3.130 was withdrawn, the balance
of $91,410 at the end of the year being
J4S0 more than that with which the year
began. Although the banks are undoubt
edly popular, there Is some difference of
opinion as to whether they fulfill the pur
pose with which they were originally es
tablished, which was to teaoh the children
habits of thrift. .The fact that, as a rule,
nearly all the money paid In Is withdrawn
m the course of the year Is said by some
critics to sugarest that the banks are
used for the convenience of the parents,
or in order that the children may save up
small sums to spend In the holidays or
at Christmas.
Cooling Device for Hot Xigbts.
Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin.
For very hot nights, in quarters where
It Is Impossible to command a breeze and
where sleep seems out of the question,
It may be wooed with success by the
help of a hot water bag. Of course a
hot water bag Is not always a bag of hot
water, and easily may be made a bag of
cold water. It Is In this form that It
comes bandy In courting sleep.
One of these cooling bags at the head
and one at the feet make a combination
that offers no encouragement to lying
awake. Tou put a towel over the bag
not quite filled with cold water on which
you Intend to rest your head.
Then you stop stewing, stop fuming,
feel quite cool and comfortable and go
to sleep when you get ready.
Reason Banishes Infidels.
Indianapolis News.
There are no Infidels. They are as ex
tinct in the 20th century as the dodo.
They began to die out when the strenuous
style of preaching that used to bang
the Bible and beat the dust out of the
pulpit cushion began to lose' vogue. As
the fires of eternal torment ceased to
flame, began to burn lurid and finally
went out, the figure of the lnfldel faded.
and In the broad light of day. where
religion Is now finding itself, the Infidel
has vanished like a wraith. God's sun
shine has shown that there was nothing
to him. It was only in the artificial light
of a terrible and terrorizing theology that
he was visible. Conditions changed, and
as they changed people ceased to see
what they were not looking for. So con
ditions here have changed, humanity is
safe, "Go& reigns, and the Government
at Washington still lives."

Mr. Josef Hof mann
-
Noted Musician, Tells Why He
Always Uses Famous Piano.
Special Dispatch to the Inter-Ocean:
New York, April 25. Mr. Josef Hof
mann, the eminent pianist, made the
following statement in an interview to
day: The Idea that for a beginner almost
any sort of teacher and any sort of
piano will do is a great mistake, for
with an inferior teacher the pupil will
learn things that have to be unlearned,
and with an inferior piano the player
cannot possibly Judge his own playing.
"For this reason I always use the
Steinway, for I know that if something
goes wrong it is the fault of my fingers
and not of the piano. Of course, soma
artists are bound by guarantees to use
other pianos, but where such obliga
tions do not exist free choice will al
wavs be the Steinway.
"I have tried Russian. Austrian, Ger
man, French and English pianos, but
onlv when I play the Steinway the
critics, musicians, and the public in
general comment upon the beautiful
singing qualities of my piano. In the
Steinway alone power, tenderness, and
daintiness are combined, while In all
other pianos one quality Is sacrificed
for the other.
"I use the Steinway because I know
It Is the best, and I praise it because
good work ought to be encouraged.
America may well be proud of. the
achievements of Steinway & Sons."
The great musicians of International
renown prefer the Steinway. The lead
ing musicians of every city acknowl
edge the supremacy of the Steinway.

of Steinway pianos, upright, miniature
